Why San Tomas Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
San Tomas is home to 87,500 residents within the Central-Alameda area, and it sits inside a broader metro region of 2.3+ million people that is growing at about 2.50% annually. That steady growth translates into continued demand for housing updates, yard renovations, and small-scale infrastructure projects—all of which depend on reliable bulk materials. In San Tomas’s hardiness zone 8b climate, with 228 sunny days a year and 33.20 inches of annual rainfall, homeowners and contractors need materials that balance drainage and moisture retention, resist UV exposure, and perform through seasonal wet spells and long dry stretches. Whether you are planning beds, pathways, grading, or retaining walls, choosing quality, locally sourced aggregates, soil blends, mulch, and sand helps ensure installations last longer and require less maintenance in this specific environment.Popular Projects in San Tomas This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - San Tomas Gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in San Tomas.
Start by matching the material to the job: durability and load-bearing for driveways, drainage for paths, and appearance for patios and beds. Consider site conditions like slope and access, how much maintenance you want, and local climate. Use a material calculator or contact our team for help narrowing choices among gravel, sand, dirt, stone and blends.
San Tomas has seasonal rainfall and local soil types that influence erosion and drainage. Choose materials that promote runoff where needed and resist washing out on slopes, and consider adding a base or geotextile on clay or poorly draining soils. Regional sourcing means color and texture may vary from photographs, so ask for local samples if appearance is important.
Measure the area (length x width) and decide the desired depth, then convert to cubic yards or tons using a calculator. For convenience, use Hello Gravel's online material calculator or contact our team with your dimensions; note our minimum order is 3 tons. Ordering a little extra for compaction and grading is common practice.
Price depends on material type, quantity, delivery distance, site access, and requested delivery speed. Smaller orders and next-day deliveries usually carry higher per-ton costs, while larger quantities reduce unit price. Hello Gravel provides transparent pricing at checkout so you can compare options before buying.
Standard delivery typically requires 2+ business days and a minimum order of 3 tons. Next-day delivery may be available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Materials are delivered by contracted dump trucks (commonly tri-axle); tailgate spreading can be requested but is performed at the driver's discretion and cannot be guaranteed.
Natural materials vary by local geology, so color, texture, and particle size can differ from photos. Regional sourcing means materials reflect the local area rather than exact images. You can add color or appearance preferences in Order Notes and contact customer service if you need a closer match.
Major changes such as significant grading, retaining walls, or new impermeable driveways often require permits or approvals from the city or county. Requirements vary by project size and location, so check with San Tomas or Santa Clara County building and planning departments before ordering large quantities. Also call 811 to locate underground utilities before any excavation.
Confirm site access, turn radius, overhead clearances, and a safe dump location before scheduling. Communicate staging needs and any time restrictions with Hello Gravel at checkout, and consider ordering larger, consolidated deliveries to reduce site traffic. Keep in mind drivers cannot cross private structures and tailgate spreading is at their discretion.
Have the soil evaluated and plan for proper base layers, grading, and drainage features before adding finish materials. Depending on the problem, contractors may recommend geotextile fabric, additional base rock, or amended fill to stabilize the area. Discuss site conditions with our team so we can suggest appropriate aggregate types and quantities for long-term performance.
Avoid scheduling large deliveries during heavy rain or saturated ground to reduce compaction and access problems. Spring and fall are often ideal for landscaping and driveway work, but deliveries are available year-round. If weather is a concern, choose a flexible delivery window and confirm before dispatch.
Common issues include delivery location changes, quantity discrepancies, and access problems. Contact Hello Gravel customer service promptly so we can work with the supplier and driver to resolve the issue; changes are easier to accommodate before dispatch. For details on refunds or credits, refer to our service policies or contact our support team.
Compare materials by intended function, maintenance needs, appearance, and local availability. Think about load-bearing requirements for driveways, drainage for paths and plant beds, and the level of upkeep you want. Use samples, the online aggregate quiz, or talk with our sales team to weigh trade-offs among gravel, sand, dirt, stone and mixes.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
